Morning Gents

I just cut my grass and it's back--but it's raining, so I may get some work done on the layout.

Made some more changes to the Rock Ridge and Train City layout plan. I won't post it because the changes were mostly made to staging. IN th short term it will mean 2.5 the amount of staging track.

ON the SP Overland Route there were several tunnels and rather than have a really long tunnel unexposed, in the place where the hidden track is right next to the edge of the layout, I thought I would cut a hole in the fascia and model the tunnel. This will allow me to add a long siding which is an operational limitation as it stands.

In the short therm, this siding can also serve as staging as needed. In the long term, when basement sized ops sessions are being held, it will serve as a much needed spot for train meets for longer double and triple headed trains.

Good Morning ! Bill , Jeffrey & Steve, Jeffrey. that looks good with a nice cup of coffee. Another wet day here on the Niagara Frontier. Chance to get some work done inside. Take care all !!
 


Some really good stuff

:) :) :) I am rebuilding the mower deck for my Kubota. It is a Woods 348 mower deck, a real heavy duty deck. I tore it all apart and while I had it apart decided to do something to the underside. Every time I mowed and it was the least little damp I had a heck of a mess under it. So's I decided to paint it as it was very rusty. The paint I got is called POR-15. After the proper prep work it is supposed to make the rust and inert substance. The prep work was intense as I had to wire brush the devil out of it because it was so bad. It still was very nasty even after that step so I took one of my trusty body hammers and beat the liven daylights out of it and broke loose all heavy scaly stuff. I think the deck will only be half as heavy as before because I have one heck of a pile of scale. Then it was treated with a phosphoric acid wash, rinsed throughly with water and dried off. I let it stand overnight to make sure it was dried and just finished applying the paint. It is now black on the underside and ready for me to finish installing the new bearings and seals in the three spindles. I think I am about ready for the mowing season and I sure am ready for warm, even jot weather.
